It's the hard heart that kills...
"To all those playing H2v, how does it compare to Halo2?"
Think of your Xbox or Xbox 360 with a set of brakes on the graphics rendering and you'll be in the ballpark. IMO, the graphical improvements are pretty minimal. The Vista overhead really bogs things down unless you have a pretty cutting edge gaming rig. Don't get me wrong: Mouse & KB are a big improvement for me in terms of frags. (The only reason I play H2 Xbox is that it's the only FPS my friends play, and the Xbox live party system makes it easy and cool for us to play together.) But the fact that I can't cross-platform play is a major drag. Right now, my brother, ReiboChief, is cannonizing players left and right on Containment, but I can't join him on my Vista machine... That blows, considering that the console junkies are given a nice aim-assist boost on H2V as well as H2 Xbox.
"And another question, is it worth upgrading to Vista for this game?"
Not unless you have a lot of disposable income or you're going to upgrade to Vista anyway. I like building PCs, and I wanted to experiment w/ Vista, so I was kinda going there, anyway. There might be something more asinine than what MS has done by locking H2 PC into Vista, but it strains my imagination to think of it. Wait: No KB & mouse support on the Xbox 360 is a close second...
